Chapter 137 Inevitable Trap

The densely packed Hydralisks and Zerglings, covered by the Psi Storm, almost instantly became sluggish, then burst into large pools of minced flesh and blood. The swarms of Mutalisks wailed miserably, flapping their wings helplessly, trying to fly away, but only a few severely injured Mutalisks succeeded!

In that instant, the Protoss position actually presented a blank state, as if an invisible, giant broom had swept across it, eliminating most of the Zerg.

Even the mighty Thor, with its thick hide capable of withstanding several complete Psi Storms, was attacked from all sides because it suddenly lost its allies, and died tragically on the spot.

Fang Senyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he noticed that Snake was looking at the Psi Storm with hatred and rage in his eyes! Fang Senyan suddenly realized that Psi Storm was not only a nightmare for low-level Zerg units, but also for all non-mechanized human units!

Whether it was SCVs, Marines, Firebats, or Ghost soldiers, their low health was always their weakness. In the face of the Psi Storm’s area-of-effect damage, even the cloaked Ghost soldiers would suffer damage, and at most, could only last two or three seconds longer than the other soldiers.

Those extra two or three seconds might not be enough for the Ghost soldier to escape alive, because they were not known for their speed.

So, although Snake didn't say it, Fang Senyan was almost certain that his son must have died in a Psi Storm!

On the distant battlefield, after suffering heavy damage from the Psi Storm, the Zerg forces retreated completely. For a moment, Fang Senyan was very surprised, because it didn't look like the Zerg's usual bloody and crazy fighting style at all.

Just as Fang Senyan was pondering what the Overmind on the other side wanted to do, the ground suddenly trembled imperceptibly.

Immediately afterwards, the trembling began to intensify rapidly, and then the entire battlefield began to be covered by the "rumbling" sound from underground! Fang Senyan looked at the small stones rolling down from the nearby mountain wall, and suddenly remembered something in his mind, and immediately gasped and said:

"Could it be... could it be that thing has appeared? That's a non-mass-produced special unit. The Queen who can have the blueprint to create this kind of creature must have been to planet P (the planet where the Starship Troopers story takes place) before. If that's the case, then the one commanding the battle in front of me might be my old opponent."

With a loud "boom!" the soil in front of the Protoss defense base suddenly and violently exploded as if seventy or eighty tons of TNT explosives had been detonated! The mud shot up into the air fifty or sixty meters!

Immediately afterwards, a Protoss Photon Cannon was overturned from below. The soil beneath it collapsed with a crash, revealing a huge pit, from which a huge beetle emerged!!

Yes, this thing was the burrowing bug that appeared in the Starship Troopers world. At this time, this thing was obviously strengthened by the Zerg's war genes. Its size was slightly smaller, about three meters high and five meters long, and its body surface was completely covered by a gray-white, rubber-like, tough membrane. Symmetrical breathing holes grew on both sides of the body, and eight symmetrical long legs grew. The armor joints of the vital parts of the whole body were raised, full and bulging, and looked full of destructive power.

This beetle overturned the Photon Cannon, and then sprayed a stream of corrosive acid. The two Zealots next to it were immediately contaminated, and their whole bodies burned with emerald green flames. They were already injured, and they died tragically on the spot in a short period of time.

When the surrounding Dragoons and Photon Cannons tried to focus their fire on this burrowing bug, it twisted its fat body again and returned to the ground at an astonishing speed. Most of the Photon Cannon blasts, other than venting anger and energy on the soil, could do nothing.

At the same time, at least thirty burrowing bugs unknowingly burrowed from the ground to the underside of the Photon Cannons, and then began to wreak havoc, constantly creating ground fissures and collapses, destroying the Protoss defense system in a mess.

What's even more perverted was that they also seemed to have powerful psionic abilities. The soil they lifted up could actually form a short-lived rock shield to protect their body surface, which made it difficult to cause too much damage to them in the first place when they occasionally appeared on the ground. Obviously, after the burrowing bugs destroyed the Protoss defense system, the High Templar's Psi Storm would be useless.

Because Psi Storm was indiscriminate damage, without a defense system, they could only use Dragoons and Zealots to stand on the front line. Therefore, releasing Psi Storm was equivalent to self-harm! In a situation where the strength of the troops was too different, doing so was like drinking poison to quench thirst! What's more, Psi Storm was not released without limit, and it was also subject to the High Templar's mental strength………

Just when the Protoss were in a huge crisis, Fang Senyan was also in a huge crisis!!

Because even though he was extraordinarily careful, he was still caught in the trap without paying attention.

Whose trap?

Of course, it was Snake's trap!

There was no reason to prove that Snake deliberately tapped on the rock with his fingers, so as to successfully attract the attention of a burrowing bug.

In fact, many people have the habit of making small movements when thinking about problems. At most, he could only be blamed for being too careless. Snake could even retort that he had no knowledge of this unconventional unit. But the fact was that a burrowing bug was attracted, and then... Snake activated his cloak and disappeared.

Of course, there were still countless reasons to explain his behavior, such as him clearly being a sniper, so of course he had to keep his distance from melee combat, which was the most reasonable reason.

Then why didn't he show up and attack after he kept his distance?

Snake could still explain that he was being targeted by a Hive that could naturally detect cloaked units, or that his stomach hurt and he suddenly wanted to take a dump, or that his period came and he didn't bring a pad... More importantly, dead people don't need to explain themselves.

Yes, in Snake's eyes, Fang Senyan, who had already been noticed by the Zerg, was a dead man.

Even if he was a commodore, even if he was a legendary figure.

Because Snake had done similar things more than once, because he was already familiar with the road.

However, Snake's situation was also very bad, because when Fang Senyan noticed his movements, he took out a bottle of gene potion and smashed it on the ground!

The surging gene mist immediately stained Snake's body and strengthened him, but! This bottle of gene potion was specially formulated by Fang Senyan, and the smell was very pungent!

The Zerg's sense of smell was very sensitive. After Snake was stained with that aura, even if he had the ability to cloak, he would definitely arouse the Zerg's suspicion and the pursuit of the Overlords flying in the sky! In fact, he, who had already escaped hundreds of meters away, was also targeted by several Zerglings, and his situation was also very embarrassing. He was running around wildly and cautiously.

What's even better was that if both sides survived, and even if they met again in the future, Fang Senyan could still shamelessly and suddenly regretfully say:

"I clearly wanted to strengthen you! But I didn't expect this thing to have side effects..."

Yes, the only effective way to deal with a despicable person is to be more despicable than him!! Fang Senyan was also a person who deeply understood the taste of it.

*

A burrowing bug had already appeared in front of Fang Senyan. It appeared from the soil, and its thick carapace looked like armor and a helmet. There was a blood-red light in its eyes, and its complex mouthparts were still蠕动(蠕动: were still wriggling non-stop), which should be constantly mixing the various compounds in its body, ready to喷射(喷射: ready to spray) deadly acid at any time.

This should be the first time that burrowing bugs had appeared in front of the Protoss, so the Protoss were also caught off guard. But what no one knew was that Fang Senyan was very familiar with this kind of creature.

Back then, he had thoroughly consulted all its information through the Kerrigan, so this creature must have undergone a series of optimization and modifications at this time, but most of its nature and physiological structure would never change, just like no matter how water rice was transformed and optimized, it would definitely be short and like water, and grow rice ears. It was impossible for it to suddenly grow to two or three meters tall and like to grow in the desert.

Therefore, facing this ferocious burrowing bug, the first thing Fang Senyan did, who knew it very well, was of course to escape.

In the eyes of the rest of the Zerg, finding a weak human was not a big deal at all. As for this human escaping, it was also a very normal reaction. Could it be possible to see this weak guy turn around and fight back?

Obviously, in their simple minds, the powerful burrowing bug would catch up with it and eat it as an after-dinner snack in the first place.

What? Send more manpower to chase and help? Are you insulting the strength of the great burrowing bug? Or is it more important for such a mere human to conquer the Protoss holy land in front of you?

So Fang Senyan retreated while fighting with the burrowing bug chasing after him. Fang Senyan's speed was not as fast as the burrowing bug's six long legs frantically waving, but for him, he only needed to be wary of avoiding the acid flames喷射(喷射: sprayed) by the burrowing bug, then the rest of the attacks, such as the long legs stepping on, ramming, etc., were completely within the range that could be withstood. Therefore, he seemed to be chased in a very embarrassing manner, and it seemed that he would be trampled to death or knocked away and eaten in the next second, but he still escaped to the edge of the main battlefield with thrills.
